How To Set Up an Airbnb Kitchen To Get Better Bookings 

Bar keepers friend is the best for cleaning stainless steel pots and pans. Makes them shiny and clean like new.

You forget measuring cups and spoons, plus nested mixing bowls. I also add salad tongs with a large salad bowl.

Thank you for your leadership! Greatly appreciated. Happy Sunday!

Great breakdown, especially for larger places that host larger groups/families. Good to see that I was on track, but a few items that I can add. Awesome video!

Another over-the-top value video! So many helpful takeaways. Thank you!

This is amazing advice, thank you so much for taking time out your days to make these videos for us

Really appreciate your in depth kitchen tutorial Sean! Wow five years, kudos... I've learn a lot from you in the past 3.5 years of operating our BNB 💯😇

Great video, gorgeous kitchen, super smooth. Thank you!

Great advice. Thank you

Thanks for the valuable tips

your content is SO GOOD!

Thank you for this tips

Thank you very much.

Great tips!

That steel sponges are going to make a lot of scratches on the surface that is used. I would not recommend those for a long life pans

Great video Shawn. I have a condo with a fully stocked kitchen which targets snowbirders. Guests always compliment it. You name it and we have it. As you say, it all depends on which guests and kind of stay you're trying to attract. My minimum stay is also 7 days per HOA and honestly I don't want it any shorter 😊 Thanks for your content.

We are a 3/2 str. 6 occupants max. 9 night average stay. Our kitchen though is 18’x18’. We have almost everything a kitchen could need. So it could just be based on space and storage as well.

Great trip 😁👍

Sean in an apron! Haha epic! 👌🏾

That's was so helpful thank you I was just wondering if you have a video what are all the materials we need to put for the kitchen like one by one I Would like to have some information thanks

sean r can change a look! great video.

Sean, while I agree with a lot of what you’re saying on offering those extras in the kitchen, how do you go about preventing it’s use when you get a booking from someone where those extra items or cooking complimentary’s aren’t needed but get touched or dirtied or used just because they are in sight and available. I’d love to provide the families with lemons and garlic and tomatoes but I also don’t want that accessible when I get the occasional bachelor party. It isn’t practical for me to have my cleaners make special trips supplying the kitchen based on each individual stay. What you’re mentioning is certainly cool and if you have the structure and manpower to do it based who will be staying then great, but is the upside worth it otherwise?

I'm not a person who cooks (I eat out almost 100% of the time) so there's surely stuff i didn't think of.

My favourite guests are the ones who order Uber eats. They don’t use electricity or gas on the stove, less water since there aren’t any pots or dishes to clean. Less wear and tear on my dishwasher. I prefer not to host guests who will be cooking 3x a day every day. Otherwise , I’d rent to long term tenants

Hi Sean, I've just started watching your channel as we have bought a 4 bed house near the beach and intend to offer it as a 'short term rental', initially on Airbnb. We are in a beach side suburb in Victoria, Australia, & have spent the 'settlement time' doing drive-bys of local airbnb's to see how frequently they turn over - which appears to be consistently on a weekly, if not 'long week-end basis - 3-4 days)...we have 'made friends' with the local laundromat who has introduced us to a local cleaning company. I am in 'buying' mode and have realised I need a lot more inventory than expected - the launderette lady said we need 3 lots of bedding per bed (OMG that's a LOT of sheets!). I have accommodated the fact that ours will be a family house - 4 bedrooms, 10 beds in total, I am somewhat overwhelmed at the quantities of everything needed! I have bought 'children friendly' cups, plates, cutlery for the 6 single beds - is this ok or do I need to buy 1.5? I intend to buy a rice cooker, as I belief we will have multi-cultural bookings that are family friendly - there's not many 4 bed houses within walking distance to the beach here (& it's a glorious beach!) Should I provide beach towels? We intend to buy a beach trolley for guests to use to take their 'stuff' to the beach but I get confused about where to draw the line...I've bought beach towels but not enough for 10 people...I suppose my rambling question is...where to draw the line?

How did I not see this video until now?!

Ah, nice take on the consumer’s perspective

Liked 👍😃

Thanks for the useful information Shawn! Do you see providing spices, herbs and condiments in containers for guests as a liability?

Ah the stickers on the produce 🙈 otherwise very helpful video :)

I have a question. Just bought a second house three bed two bath. My wife wants to cut the living room in half and turn it into another room with a master bath. Well add another bathroom as well. Is that worth it of leave it as is?

Hi Sean, I'm wanting to section off a part of my house for airbnb. The only thing is that guests won't have access to our kitchen. They will have access to their own bathroom, laundry and two bedrooms. I am also including a mini fridge with amenities like a microwave, kettle and tea and coffee etc. You've stressed the importance of having a fully stocked kitchen in a few of your videos and i'm now worried about how successful i will be with getting bookings. Is there anything else i can do to make up for it? Thanks

I just recently started watching your channel and it’s very informative. I have a question. Which is better to purchase - a regular coffee maker or a keurig? Why? Thanks

I don't keep steel wool so it doesn't get smoked

I saw someone I know is selling a "what to have in each room" outline but they are charging for it. Is this something you could show us? Like bedrooms, bathrooms, etc? I feel like it isn't worth buying but still good to know and I may forget something.

Never invite me on a cooking show😂you’re funny! Well, now there’s two of us who don’t want to be invited to that kind of show

👏👏👏💪👏

I'd be worried that the wine opener will be stolen.

12:30 SMART: PHOTO SHOOT TIPS

When a previous tenant leaves stuff like oil, beer, spices, waters…. Do you leave it in for the next guest ? Or throw it away ? (Obviously you would throw away perishables)

Nice! But why dryer? Just hang your laundary on the terrace (or inside on the drying rack) and the wind and sun will be your dryer.

Who restocks the lemons and garlic? Do you have your cleaners going to grocery stores?

8 people or more gets you a blender. How weird. With 10, you get a rolling pin. Silly. A properly stocked kitchen should have both for just one guest.

Hey can a U.S. host tell me more about how hard it is to find landlords to rent apartments from for doing airbnb inside the U.S. or even specific states? I am a host in Germany and the conservativeness in our country regarding renting apartments has grown so bad during the last two years. It's almost impossible. Maybe I try the US market.

How to stop guests from washing fancy wooden chopping boards and cheese boards, quality ceramic serving plates, or good knives in the dishwasher?

Toaster haven't used one in 12 years. I just put bread in a pan. I don't eat bread though. Get real knives, not serrated knives, they're garbage.

people above the age of 50 have a hard time using the fancy wine opener, its better to have both

Am I the ultimate devil host for not allowing my guests to cook? :))

sorry Sean, but never ever leave those kind of knives in a house for rent
